Out in Western New York in Le Roy, police are currently investigating an animal cruelty case where officers found a cat inside a plastic bin that was duct-taped shut.

According to New York Upstate, the cat was a male tabby who is not neutered, but when he was found appeared to be in good health:

There were no holes cut in the lid or the bin to let air in, but the cat is doing well and is being cared for while police investigate."
